The concept of control is something that everyone struggles with. To be able to control your actions, your thoughts, your feelings, others, your environment, and etc. We all attempt to control things around us including other people. Some enlightened people will figure out they control nothing. Influence yes, control no. Create yes, control that creation, not even possible as many parents learn.  

When we stop trying to control everything, putting it into our own little box of how we want things, then life gets easier and you can become happier.

Stop worrying about what others are doing with your creation and let it go. Get back to doing what you love. Create more, new, improve on your other creations.

This mainly brings up copyrights. There are too many people complaining about copyrights. The control of what you create or as they call it Product. RIAA and MPAA is a prime example of copyrights gone wrong.

 ”Bernard of Chartres used to say that we are like dwarfs on the shoulders of giants, so that we can see more than they, and things at a greater distance, not by virtue of any sharpness on sight on our part, or any physical distinction, but because we are carried high and raised up by their giant size.“

Some people’s only products is to build on top of someone else’s ideas. Its how we get new ideas and improve. Moving forward.  

Now should someone get paid for their creation. Yes. Should they be constantly paid over and over again and for how long? That’s the main question.
